tHA rEAL cEELO

Check out the Scratch Vision online broadcast where DJ Scratch from NYC host the finest in Hip Hop talent on the decks. Serious Hip Hop talent on display here with live mixing and interviews on all topics from the four corners of the Hip Hop universe.

Some people have asked what is the math behind the ceelo engine. We don’t want to say too much but you can be assured that we have spent a considerable amount of effort to ensure that the system is as random as we can possibly make it. We are sure that the system is not possible to manipulate by playing at a certain time of day or night or by playing the numbers. Each and every time you roll you have an exactly equal chance of getting Ceelo, the devils mix, a trip, num high, ace or 1-2-3.

We are so sure of this that we challenge you to find a way to reliably reproduce a roll sequence! Of course if you do find a method you may not want to tell us about it especially when battle mode drops…

Break Down of da Rulz 4 Ceelo

Alwys state ur rulz b4 starting! U Don’t want no shizzle dat has to be settled wid da Glock!

1-2-3 You Loose! Start from scratch. If you ain’t got no gold stop now and go home!

double + 1 = Ace. You loose the round. Period. No need 4 any1 else to thrown down.

double + 2 = 2 is high, the lowest score you can win any thang with.
double + 3 = 3 is high, beats 2 is high
double + 4 = 4 is high, beats 3 is high
double + 5 = 5 is high, beats 4 is high
double + 6 = 6 is high, beats 5 is high

trip 1 beats 6 is high
trip 2 beats trip 1
trip 3 beats trip 2
trip 4 beats trip 3
trip 5 beats trip 4
trip 6 = Devils Mix. Only way to beats Devils mix is 4,5,6 Ceelo!!!

4,5,6 = Ceelo! You win the whole kitty.

Member! ALWAYS STATE UR RULZ B4 STARTING!!! Don’t need no more Bruthas killing Bruthas!!!

And dems da Rulz Y’all.

These are the rules for how to play ceelo on the iPhone.

Ceelo Green tells it like he sees it. He is concerned that Black Americans are being kept down by the system that is stacked against them from day one. Good people end up being forced to do things that are not natural for them and have to make choices forced on them by the inequity of da system. Maybe he’s onto sum thang or maybe he’s just as deluded as he is razzing off about? You be da Judge!

Straight from the mouth of Wu-Tang member U-God here’s the downlow on how to play the game of Ceelo. Adds a new rule for Aces. double and 1 is aces low and is almost as bad as 1-2-3. In NYC rules if you roll 1.2.3 you loose everything. That’s it, Game over, go home! Damn those NYC rules are hard!

Also reminds you to state your rules fore you start playing else you might be having to defend urself with da glock. So, let us remind you now.

ALWAYS STATE YOUR RULES before you start playing!!!

We have just submitted a minor update with improved dice animations. Still working on two dice mode. That will definitely be in the next update.

Don’t forget to tell your friends about Tha Real Ceelo !!!

We have just released a minor update with some new dice animations.

We were hoping to have a bit more functionality for you to play with but that is not to be. However Apple have stopped us from releasing 2 previous versions of the app. They have deemed that because the functionality is incomplete it had to be completely disabled i.e removed before the latest release could go live.

We have argued our case as much as possible. We would love to share the latest work with you even if it is unfinished. We want your feedback on the potential of the interface for battle mode. We have written a lot of code but we don’t want to push too far in one direction without hearing from you what you think is important.

Anyhow, comments are welcome here.

We are coming up to some important milestones with downloads now.

Realtime battle mode would make this game wayyyyy more interesting for a lot of people.

Here’s some screen shots of some of the ideas we are working on…

Ceelo is a strange word. Original word. Street word. Synonymous with Hip Hop culture.

The origins date from the early days of modern American History. During those times a lot of Chinese and African immigrants and slaves were working together in various locations. The Chinese had an ancient game of three dice gambling called Sing Luk or Chain of Flowers. Now you can imagine the likelihood of African slaves wanting to bet against Chinese slaves on the chain lines or in the mines, maybe even on the cotton fields.  A portable form of entertainment to get the heart racing and pass the time in boring moments.  A simple and efficient way to make or loose some quick bucks. An easily hidden gambling method in case to keep the man at bay.

This is where the word Ceelo originates. African slaves applying Eubonics naturally to the original Chinese word of Sing Luk. The name gets passed around for a few hundred years and the “ing” becomes “ee” and the “uk” becomes “o” to make it a new word for the English language.

The game has changed slightly from the original too so Ceelo is  really in a class of it’s own. An original street culture game a part of the 4 corners of Hip Hop culture and a pre requisite for the modern gangsta, playa and cool urban ghetto youth.

Now it’s on the iPhone too!

The inaugural post. Stayed tuned for more…
